WESTBOROUGH – A Westborough teenager was arraigned Thursday on multiple drug charges after police said they found marijuana, bongs and alcohol inside his car in the high school parking lot last fall.According to a report filed in Westborough District Court, Westborough High School Principal Brian Callaghan called police on Oct. 30, 2013 because administrators suspected a senior student was smoking marijuana and possibly selling it on school grounds.Police said they didn’t find any drugs on the student, 18-year-old Jacob Rolfe, but decided to call for a drug-sniffing dog to search his car after smelling a strong odor of marijuana on his belongings.Police said a drug-sniffing dog indicated drugs were inside Rolfe’s vehicle, at which time they searched it and found a bag and a jar containing marijuana. They said they also found a small scale typically used to weigh drugs for sale as well as several plastic bags commonly used to package drugs.Police said they also found numerous burned marijuana joint "roaches," two water pipe "bongs," three glass pipes, a "nip" of tequila and a nearly empty, larger bottle of vodka.Rolfe, of 10 Spring Road, was not arrested, but was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, a drug violation near a school/park, possession of liquor near a school and possession of liquor by a person under the age of 21.Judge Robert Calagione released Rolfe without requiring bail on a promise that he appear at his next court hearing in March.Brad Petrishen can be reached at 508-490-7463 or bpetrishen@wickedlocal.com.
